Rian grew up with rhythm in his bones—dance was his first language when words fell short.When his family moved to California, he went by Daniel Sol Choi, carrying a new name to fit a new place. After his father's absence, he was raised by his mother, Katrina, the person he treasures most in the world.Now back in South Korea, he goes by Choi Rian, though he doesn’t mind if some still call him Daniel or Sol—both names are part of who he is.He’s pursuing a Master’s in Dance, specializing in choreography. By day, he works as a barista, treating coffee-making as another kind of performance. By night, he’s in the studio, chasing movements that stir thought and feeling.Quietly observant, Rian notices more than he says. Warm yet reserved, playful yet thoughtful—he leaves impressions that linger, like music after it fades.
